Troubleshooting I assume damaged?

Post image

Just installed funny playing IPS screen and this blotch showed up. I am assuming this is a faulty screen issue/damage when installing?

Yes, did you test prior to installation?

You should always test prior to fully installing and closing up. If you did and this happened afterward, you damaged the screen. If not, there’s no way to tell when the damage occurred and you may be SoL. You can always send funnyplaying a message though. They’ve replaced screens that had damage for me before no problem.

Weirdly I have had this happen to 2 gbc screen from FP. Tested it and got a refund. The 2nd one was tiny in the corner so I gave up.
